Inside Iggy Azalea's rundown childhood home as she reveals real name and humble beginnings

Iggy Azalea has given an insight into her humble beginnings in Australia, before moving to America to chase her dreams as a musician.

The 32-year-old Fancy rapper - who welcomed a baby son in 2020 - lived in the property with her family following their move to Mullumbimby, New South Wales.

Unlike her current lavish lifestyle, Iggy's father built their home on a 12 acre plot by hand from mudbricks.

Reflecting on her childhood, the star shared a series of photographs from her younger years to her Instagram Story.

The first upload showed an old envelope with the name Amethyst written across it.

The singer - whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly - came across it whilst looking in an old handbag.

She then went on to post the contents of the envelope as she revealed a selection of developed shots taken of her old house.

Sharing the snaps, she told fans: "It's full of old photos.

"I remember every speck of this house, and its so nostalgic and cool finding these."

One of the photos showed Iggy's childhood hallway, while another was taken of the star as a youngster in the kitchen.

Dressed in a leotard and tutu, the musician commented: "I think I always was meant to be on stage."

Iggy followed the photo with a snap of her beloved mum and their family garden.

The star moved to America when she was just 16.

She started getting recognition after her two of her controversial music videos went viral on YouTube, and it wasn't long before she was snapped up by Island Def Jam records.

Meanwhile, it comes one year since Iggy announced her decision to step back from the music industry to "focus on other creative projects".

The star shared the news in a series of social media posts to fans, writing: "End of an Era is so special to me because after I drop my album next month...

"I am going to take a few years to focus on other creative projects and things I'm feeling passionate and inspired by, beyond music."

'I'm excited for you guys to see different sides to me in the future," she added.

"Shifting my energy and focus to what I'm most excited about is what is right for me and I hope you'll continue to support whatever creative projects I'm out here doing! I really love this album and I just want my fans to enjoy this with me. I hope I see so many of you on tour!"

In June 2020, Iggy welcomed her son Onyx with rapper Playboi Carti.
